It seems that "corporate" ad-hoc lounges that opened before and during the holiday season have closed their doors: The Wired store closed at the end of the year, the Delta 360 lounge just before Christmas and the Illy caffe push button house ended its free espressos with 2007. Each end is a new beginning, experts say, so don't complain. Read the news about a new "room" created by Artists Space. Time for culture!
Artists Space has announced a new programmatic space, called the Blue Room, with an inaugural event on Saturday, January 12. The Blue Room is a flexible area within Artists Space dedicated to improvisational discourse. A hybrid between library and living room, this addition to Artists Spaces’ program allows for informal conversations, lectures, small gatherings, and performative projects. Including an always open and ever-changing curated library of publications, the Blue Room is in constant transition as it reacts to issues of the day. Artists, curators, writers, and all members of the Artist Space community have the opportunity to organize and schedule events in the Blue Room. The goal of this exciting new space is to further artistic experimentation by providing a location for anyone to propose innovative programming.
Blue Room events are open to the public, however an RSVP is mandatory. Please reply to rsvp@artistsspace.org and indicate the date and title of the event in the subject heading.
F. Math Lorenz: Case Studies in Currency Events
A monetary unit is a thing of value in more ways than one. Money can be treated as legal tender, a historical document, as well as a tool of utility. The notion of "relative rarity as a value index" will be discussed along with specific case studies that illustrate the fluid nature of currency.
